Verizon Internet Gateway (Askey ASK-NCQ1338)
4.1

The ASK-NCQ1338 is Verizon’s current premium gateway — included free on 2-year 5G Home Plus plans. It’s one of the few consumer gateways that can actually saturate a mmWave connection thanks to its 2.5GbE port and WiFi 6E radios.
If you’re in a mmWave coverage zone, this is legitimately gigabit-capable hardware. In C-band zones, the radios still outperform most third-party modems.
Pros
- WiFi 6E tri-band router built in
- 4 Ethernet ports including a 2.5GbE port for gigabit-capable mmWave
- mmWave + C-band 5G antennas tuned for Verizon's bands
- Included free with 2-year 5G Home Plus plan
Cons
- No external antenna ports
- Large tower form factor — needs prominent window placement
- Locked to Verizon network
